Payoneer is terrible. Google auto-created an account for me there several years ago as part of paying me a $250 open source peer bonus (opensource.google/documentation/). They gave me another $1000 and Payoneer won't let me withdraw without giving them a photo of my passport. Ridiculous.

Is it transferable (Ie could you sell the right to someone who will send you cash without obnoxious kyc)?

No, it's not transferrable. The only option is having the funds indefinitely frozen while complying with all of their ridiculous demands. They already demanded a picture of my passport as proof of identity, a bank account statement as proof of residence and a bunch of other info.
I received a prepaid $250 credit card branded as Google Open Source from Google through Payoneer several years ago when they included me in a previous round of the peer bonus program. I only had to provide my name and mailing address but it has clearly become a lot worse now.

I had to provide my existing Payoneer account info this time and it's working differently. Withdrawal to a bank account, obtaining a new card and currency conversion are all disabled for USD, the only currency with any funds. EUR/GBP are shown as working since there are no funds.
